Hematology Branch, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. Electronic address:

Published: July 2018

Active regulatory elements in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are incompletely characterized, since extant approaches immunophenotypically define and isolate rare HSCs. In the current issue of Cell Stem Cell, Wünsche et al. (2018) use γ-retroviral insertion sites from a human gene therapy trial to identify the active enhancer landscape of functionally characterized HSCs.

Melanoma, a type of cancer, has the ability to metastasize and can be fatal. The lack of success in the treatment of melanoma with chemotherapeutic agents and the side effects have led to the search for new agents. Moreover, developing systems that will provide reduce side effects by using biocompatible carriers, may be beneficial.

Article Synopsis
  • Soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) is a significant global concern, threatening plant growth, food safety, and human health due to its accumulation in edible plant parts.
  • Understanding how plants respond to Cd stress is essential; they activate transcriptional changes and various detoxification strategies to counteract Cd-induced damage.
  • The review emphasizes the molecular mechanisms behind Cd uptake and detoxification, exploring innovative strategies to enhance plant tolerance to Cd and improve food safety.

Occurrence of Perillaldehyde and Other (Suspected) Genotoxic Flavoring Substances in Water-Based Beverages Consumed by Belgian Children.

J Agric Food Chem

November 2023

Unité de Brasserie et des Industries Alimentaires, Louvain Institute of Biomolecular Science and Technology (LIBST), Faculté des Bioingénieurs, Université catholique de Louvain, Croix du Sud 2 Box L7.05.07, Louvain-la-Neuve 1348, Belgium.

Despite the extensive use of flavoring substances in food, their monitoring for regulatory purposes is currently limited. This raises public health issues, especially as some compounds are prohibited due to (geno)toxicity. A solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) method coupled with GC/MS (SIM) was validated here for diverse water-based beverages.
